Know before you buy
Tokoname ware is famous for its high-quality iron-rich clay. This material is porous, which helps to mellow the astringency of green teas and enhances the overall flavor profile of your brew.
Yes, this Kyusu features a built-in ceramic mesh strainer integrated into the spout area. This design allows tea leaves to expand fully inside the pot, ensuring a smooth pour without the need for an external infuser.
Rinse the teapot with warm water immediately after use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous ceramic can absorb these scents and affect the taste of future brews.
While it is specifically designed for Japanese green teas like Sencha or Gyokuro, it works well for most loose-leaf varieties. Because the clay can absorb subtle oils over time, many enthusiasts prefer to dedicate one pot to a specific type of tea to avoid flavor crossover.
The traditional side-handle, or 'yokode' style, is ergonomically designed to provide better control when pouring. It allows you to pour the last drops of tea—the most concentrated part of the brew—with precision and ease.
